- Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has urged his team to focus on securing a place in the Conference League final, despite his impending departure at the end of the season.
- Palace hold a 3-1 advantage over Shakhtar Donetsk after the first leg of their semi-final, with the return match scheduled for Selhurst Park.
- Glasner, who led Palace to an FA Cup triumph last season, views a potential Conference League victory as a chance to “write history again” for the club.
- He emphasised that winning the trophy would bring European football back to Selhurst Park next year, encouraging players to “taste the honey” of success.
- While Will Hughes returns from illness, Evann Guessand and Borna Sosa remain unavailable for the crucial second leg, which Glasner expects to be challenging despite their lead.
